Comment:

There are so many nooks and crannies right where messy little toddler hands rest- the only way to clean was with a toothpick! I purchased this despite bad reviews because it looked so nice! I didn't want crazy colors or characters all over the chair that is going to live with us for a couple if years.... At this point, I welcome Pooh or Mickey! I hate hate hate this chair..<br /><br />I've never found a use for the reclining feature or for the height adjustment option.

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
